Cultural celebrations shouldn't feel like a "day off" from learning. This collection is designed to bring the vibrant, diverse world of Francophone Carnavals into your classroom through high-interest visuals and high-frequency language. From the snow-capped streets of Québec to the tropical rhythms of Martinique and the historic traditions of New Orleans, your students will see that French is a living, global language.
